One spawned right in top of me, and began flying close to the ground.

Like an idiot, I thought it was a Tapejara, and threw my bolo at it.

It was only when I realised it wasn't what I thought it was, and was a passive tame, that I left it behind.... It chased me all over the mountain.

Every time I thought I was free, and began looking at dinos to tame, it appears like the embodiment of winged death.

Eventually it knocked me off my Dino, into a pit of 5 hungry dire wolves, and myself and my max level iguanadon died.

Always double check your target before attacking.
